Last Update: January 25, 2026 from Vancouver, Washington
Life stuff:
- We are still settling into our cozy apartment in downtown Vancouver, WA. My primary focus in my office space. These bedrooms are on the small side, so getting a good looking camera angle in the space is taking some effort. EVERYTHING needs to be in place or the room looks cluttered without trying too hard!
- My balcony "victory garden" is still producing. I brought the tomatoes, basil, and peppers indoors and I have little cherry tomatoes on the vine! Still in prep for a potential general strike in the next 12 months.
- My kids are doing well, all things considered.
- Hubby and I have both been sick since our return from Nashville at the start of the year and I'm finally starting to feel like myself.
- I've made some great strides with here and finally feel like I'm coming out of the shadow of depression and anxiety, and want to keep up the momentum. Still not clear how much of that was working at the radio station and how much is perimenopause.
Work Stuff:
- Continuing to film a reality series about the journey to develop my new book, though the focus will change because of the trademark issue.
- My work with a Keynote Director is helping me clarify my audience and messaging. I just booked a summit appearance to help me refine my talk further..
- My Star Power Methodology is being re-branded and re-positioned because we're filing a new trademark for this body of work. I'm working on that now with the help of two amazing strategists and a trademark attorney.
Other stuff:
- I'm up to my elbows in meeting people and making new friends in the PDX area. If you're around, say howdy!
